I haven’t read it yet, because I’m not ready to be responding to someone else’s ideas, but I expect to pick it up soon...ArticleJuly 20$1 tier & up 0 0Add Mystery to Magic ItemsThis post comes from a conversation with Avantris Entertainment’s Lead Designer, Dan Dillon, the other day. He observed that 3.x and earlier editions of D&D had more secrets and surprises built into its magic items, such as items that initially appeared to be much more common versions, so that the truth was only revealed over the course of play...ArticleJune 30$1 tier & up 0 2New D&D Species: Mithric Elves and Poison-FeyThis species idea comes out of something I probably misheard on Critical Role Season 4. The essential idea is “what if warforged but more elfy… because something in the very involved elven reincarnation lore went awry?”ArticleJune 13$1 tier & up 1 3Weird New Spells: Warmup RoundI haven’t done any D&D spell design in… well, quite a lot longer than is normal for me, but I’m about to jump back into it for a paid project, so I thought you might enjoy seeing my warmup round. The fact is, though, 5e has an incredibly rich back catalogue of spells already. This is why I do a lot of high-level spell design: it’s difficult, but there are a lot fewer existing creations.ArticleMay 31$1 tier & up 1 4Join to unlock 1 3 Share LockedNo public preview was captured for this post.Article2d ago$1 tier & up 0 3Join to unlock 2 1 Share LockedNo public preview was captured for this post.Article2d ago$1 tier & up 0 1Revised Homunculi and Living StatuaryThis post is an example of revisiting material I wrote many years ago and updating it to the way I would write it now. Editing, if you will, but more than that, examining how my understanding and the technically correct styles have changed.ArticleApril 2$1 tier & up 0 1Six Necromantic Magic Items to Raise Your SpiritsI haven’t written a collection of magic items for this blog since… oh wow, October of 2024. All of my magic item design has gone toward Avantris projects since then, I guess! We’ve been running a bunch of necromantic storylines over in Citadel LARP, and I thought the D&D crowd might like some of that good, bad sinister stuff. Oh, and I’ve been playing the Necrobinder in Slay the Spire 2, where it is one of my favorite classes...ArticleMarch 26$1 tier & up 1 2You Can’t Run Games in AngerI’ve been formulating this post in my head for years. I hope it helps someone run better, kinder games. Including me—I’m talking about lessons that I have learned the hard way and still struggle with at times. This is mostly for the LARP side, as I’m going to talk about game committees that TTRPG GMs generally don’t have...ArticleMarch 20$1 tier & up 1 2Updated Bastion Special Facilities, Part ThreeFebruary has been very demanding so far, but we just finished the first Citadel event of Season Two, so I’m taking time to remember that this blog exists and its readers are delightful people who deserve content. Thanks for reading, y’all. I’m about halfway through the list of Special Facilities in this rework of Bastions from the 2024 DMG.ImageFebruary 27$1 tier & up 0 0
